Walking Away From The Job I Loved

Walking away from the job I love, the career I worked so hard to establish, the obstacles I overcame to get where I am today will be hard. As a woman who has worked in a technology-related teaching field, my career challenges have been abundant. When I started, there were no instructional designers and no technologists with teaching-related interests. We figured out what would work from the tools we had. I started teaching writing in the computer lab before we had effective networking abilities. I wrote webpages in html until Netscape came out with its editor. I taught online courses when technologies were basic and insufficient. I’ve learned the technology, figured out how to apply it to teaching and taught others to use these tools in pedagogically sound ways…. [ed note: To Carol, thank you for all of your contributions to our field – we are grateful]
